Save the date: July 4 – 8, 2012. Frank Beddor Nationals in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Sunday, October 30th, 2011

Save the Date!

The 2012 Frank Beddor Nationals will be held on July 4th – 8th in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The event will be a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Walter Röhrl’s victory at the Pikes Peak Hillclimb Race.

To commemorate this victory, ACNA members will be lining up at the starting line (of the 2012 Hillclimb Race) to watch as racers rev their engines, embracing the mighty challenge as they quest for victory, just as Walter Röhrl did 25 years ago. Planned activities include scenic drives, golf, member concourse, Thursday reception Friday Fan Fest, Saturday evening Banquet and the grand finale – the Pikes Peak race – on Sunday.

There’s much more to this event, however. The area is packed with many other attractions. Check out pages 40 and 41 of the Fall 2011 Quattro Quarterly for more information.

Important update from your Audi Club

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Since it’s founding, the Cherokee Audi Club has represented ACNA members across the state of Georgia. While our members understand this, many non-members do not, leading them to believe that we only represent a portion of the state, or even just Cherokee County. Last month, the Audi Club North America, Cherokee Chapter Board of Directors decided to address this issue. After hours of discussion, they unanimously voted to change our name to “Audi Club North America, Georgia Chapter”, operating as “Audi Club of Georgia”. Last Monday, the ACNA National Board of Directors approved this change, leaving one final, but very important, step: approval from the chapter members.

If you are a current member, we need to hear from you!
Please send an email to: vote@cherokeeaudiclub.com and tell us: Yes or No to the name change and your member number.
Your member number is located on your membership card and on the back side of the cover of each Quattro Quarterly magazine. If you have an idea for an event or a suggestion for the club in general, please feel free to send us your feedback at any time!

Deadline for voting is June 23rd.

Summer High Performance Drivers Education Event at Talladega Gran Prix
Join us on June 26 and 27th for the Cherokee Audi Club’s HPDE at Talladega Gran Prix Raceway! Our HPDE’s are a great way to improve your skills as a driver and learn the limits of your car in a safe, controlled environment. We’re offering this event at a great price with the convenience of making a mere $100 deposit to reserve your spot. Anyone who registers for the event during February, March or April will only have to pay this $100 deposit, with the remaining balance due by May 1st. Pricing is $340 for students and $190 for instructors.

Concerned about driving your car on the track?
We answer the following questions on the Cherokee Chapter TGPR Page:

  • I’m afraid I will hurt my car.
  • What if I can’t keep up? A track seems like such an intimidating environment.
  • My car isn’t a race car; it’s totally stock, right from the dealer.
  • Am I going to wear out my brakes and tires?
  • Do women come to these events?
  • I’m not a member.

Registration is now open! Learn more about this event at: http://www.cherokeeaudiclub.com/TGPR

Thanks to everyone who attended Helen Backwards!

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

The weather wasn’t great, but the Cherokee Audi Club had a great time driving through the North Georgia Mountains anyway. We started our 85 mile journey at Unicoi State Park in Helen, Georgia. With intermittent rain falling from the sky and gravel, salt and slush on the road, it was a great test of our vehicles. Thanks to quattro and responsible driving, we completed our drive along some of the Southeast’s twistiest (and funnest) roads without incident. Longtime club member, Dirk L. won the members-only raffle for an ECU upgrade package from APR.

We took some pictures along the way: click here to see them all in our gallery!
